220 years since the Battle of the Three Emperors: Austerlitz 1805 – the bloodiest clash on our soil
Exactly 220 years ago, on December 2, 1805, one of the most significant battles in European history unfolded near Slavkov. Emperor Napoleon I of France defeated the joint Russian-Austrian army in a brutal clash that claimed around 60,000 lives. Because Napoleon, Russian Tsar Alexander I, and Austrian Emperor Francis all took part in the battle personally, it entered history as the Battle of the Three Emperors — a day that forever reshaped the map of Europe.
